OBJECTIVES
This is an experiment about measuring the resistance of different fruits. This
experiment is to:
Test the amount of resistance does the different fruits have.
Know more the concept of resistance.
Differentiate dry and wet (citrus) fruits resistance.
Test the current that a fruit have.
Know the factors that affect the resistance of the fruit.

II.MATERIALS:
Paper clips
Wire
tester
Banana
Apple
Santol (ripe and unripe)
Avocado
Mango
Orange

Own Result, Observation and Conclusion

In our experiment, in the indirect using the tester of getting the resistance of all
the different fruits, I observed that when a fruit is dry it has more resistance than in wet
fruits. When in direct experiment using the tongue, the apple and tingled and pinch on
my tongue.
Therefore, I concluded that moisture fruit has lower resistance but higher in
current while dry fruit theres a high resistance but lower in current. The experiment
using the direct or tongue, the orange and apple tingled and pinch on my tongue. Unlike
the dry fruits, the banana, avocado and santol there is no tingle in my tongue. I also
observed that the fruits with high resistance have no effect at all and the current of it is
lower. I also conclude that the higher the resistance the lower the current.

Own Result, Observation and Conclusion

I therefore conclude that having higher resistance will contrast the counter part of
it which is high resistance.
I also conclude that when you ate a food with sour taste then you test the direct
experiment using your tongue there is no effect at all but other said that when you test
it, it tingled your tongue so I must say that I am dry having high resistance than the fruits
we tested.

Own Result, Observation and Conclusion

The dry object has higher resistance ( ) but lower in current (A) while wet object
has lower resistance ( ) but higher in current (A). In our experiment, the apple and
orange has higher resistance than the other fruit like the santol (ripe and unripe),
banana, avocado and mango. Not all dry has higher resistance than wet or citrus fruits
because on my own observation there are factors that affect the resistance of the fruit.
The factors are the size of the fruit (small or big), the quality of the fruit if it is ripe or
unripe and acidic fruit or not acidic fruits.

My Own Observation using indirect experiment or using the tester

Like the orange (120 ), on our result of the experiment the said fruit has more
resistance ( ) because the orange is known as acidic fruit, it tastes sour. I observed
also when it come to size the fruits resistance may vary, on our experiment I observed
that smaller santol has lower resistance (24 ) than the bigger santol (60 ). The quality
of the fruit (ripe and unripe) also affects the resistance of the fruit because I observed
also in the santol fruit that the ripe has lower resistance (24 ) than the unripe santol
(100 ). The ripe which is wet has lower resistance than the unripe which is dry.

My Own Observation using direct experiment or using the tongue

I also observed that when in direct experiment, when you put the wire and paper
clip towards your tongue, I can feel that it tingle or I feel that there are many sharp
points pressing into my tongue. And when it comes to the orange fruit using the direct
experiment, I observed that the smell and the taste of the orange fruit is been tasted by
my tongue. But when suddenly I ate foods with vinegar, it affects my observation
because after I ate and test again the direct experiment I cannot feel any other effect
towards into my tongue. It only means that I ate acidic so it affects the resistance.

Conclusion
The dry fruit has higher resistance ( ) than the wet fruit but there are factors that
affect the fruits resistance: the size of the fruit, the quality of the fruit (ripe or unripe) and
when it is acidic or not acidic fruit. I concluded that the smaller the fruit it has lower
resistance than the bigger fruit. I also concluded that when the fruit is ripe (wet or
moister) it has lower resistance than the unripe (dry). And when the fruit is acidic it has
more resistance than in the not acidic fruit.

I also concluded that the higher the resistance ( ) the lower the current (A) it will
be while the lower the resistance ( ) the higher the current it will be (A). When the
person also dry or ate acid foods it affects the resistance because it can gain more
resistance than the fruit.

My Own Result, Observation and Conclusion

Based on our experiment, Therefore I conclude that if the flavour of the fruit is
sour, the two wire connect it to my mouth it have a jolt to my tongue. And if the fruit is
sweet there is no reaction.

I therefore conclude that when it terms of resistance, when the object is dry the
higher the resistance is and the lower the current because on my own observation when
the wire and paper clip was on the tip of my tongue, I feel like there is something
tingled.
Generalization

The dry object has higher resistance ( ) but lower in current (A) while wet object
has lower resistance ( ) but higher in current (A). The group experiment, the apple and
orange has higher resistance than the other fruit like the santol (ripe and unripe),
banana, avocado and mango. Not all dry has higher resistance than wet or citrus fruits
because in this observation there are factors that affect the resistance of the fruit. The
factors are the size of the fruit (small or big), the quality of the fruit if it is ripe or unripe
and acidic fruit or not acidic fruits.

Like the orange (120 ), in the result of the experiment the fruit has more
resistance ( ) because the orange is known as acidic fruit, it tastes sour. In this
observation also when it come to size the fruits resistance may vary, on this experiment
I observed that smaller santol has lower resistance (24 ) than the bigger santol (60 ).
The quality of the fruit (ripe and unripe) also affects the resistance of the fruit because in
this observation also in the santol fruit that the ripe has lower resistance (24 ) than the
unripe santol (100 ). The ripe which is wet has lower resistance than the unripe which
is dry.

In this observation when in direct experiment, when you put the wire and paper
clip towards your tongue, You can feel that it tingle or that there are many sharp points
pressing into your tongue. And when it comes to the orange fruit using the direct
experiment, the smell and the taste of the orange fruit is been tasted by your tongue.
But when suddenly you ate foods with vinegar, it affects your observation because after
that and test again the direct experiment you cannot feel any other effect towards into
your tongue. It only means that you ate acidic so it affects the resistance.

The dry fruit has higher resistance ( ) than the wet fruit but there are factors that
affect the fruits resistance: the size of the fruit, the quality of the fruit (ripe or unripe) and
when it is acidic or not. The conclusion is when that the smaller the fruit it has lower
resistance than the bigger fruit. In this situation when the fruit is ripe (wet or moister) it
has lower resistance than the unripe (dry). And when the fruit is acidic it has more
resistance than in the not acidic fruit.

In this conclusion the higher the resistance ( ) the lower the current (A) it will be
while the lower the resistance ( ) the higher the current it will be (A). When the person
also dry or ate acid foods it affects the resistance because it can gain more resistance
than the fruit.

My Own Result, Observation and Conclusion

Based on our experiment, I therefore conclude that if a person is dry it has higher
resistance and at the same time lower current where in you can tell it through the direct
experiment using the tongue. If he/ she cant feel something between his/her tongue
then the person must be dry. And you can say that the person is wet or has lower
resistance if he/ she feel something between his/ her tongue.

When the fruit also dry the possibility of it will have higher resistance with lower
current while the wet fruit has lower resistance but higher amount of current.
